BMM Testlabs, a leading global gaming test lab and product compliance consultancy, is among the sponsors of the 20th annual National Center for Responsible Gaming Conference (NCRG) on Gambling and Addiction, Sunday and Monday, October 13-14.
NCRG is the only national organization exclusively devoted to funding scientific research and education that will help increase understanding of gambling disorder and find effective methods of prevention and treatment for the disorder.
BMM Chief of Staff Wendy Anderson said, “BMM is a socially responsible company and has always been at the forefront of educating the industry on issues from skill-based gaming, to sports betting, to forensics, to responsible gaming and beyond. The NCRG is pivotal in RG research and we thank them for their continued advancements in educating gaming professionals on responsible gaming.”
Frank Fahrenkopf, BMM non-executive director and former president and CEO of the American Gaming Association (AGA), will be featured on a panel discussion at the NCRG Conference on Gambling and Addiction, joined by Katherine Spilde of San Diego State University; Christine Reilly of the NCRG; and Roger Gros, publisher of Global Gaming Business magazine.
The National Gambling Impact Study Commission was charged by Congress with “a very broad and difficult task-to conduct a comprehensive legal and factual study of the social and economic implications of gambling in the United States.” The commission issued its report in 1999. The panel will reflect on the impact of the report on the gambling landscape after 20 years.
